What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMenstrual bleeding refers to the average blood loss in a normal menstrual period, which is approximately 40 cc. Heavy bleeding during menstruation is one of the common problems of reproductive age. Therefore, to compare the effectiveness of hypnotherapy and Menstrugol capsules on the volume of menstrual bleeding, a clinical trial study was conducted. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe present study is a two-group clinical trial conducted on 72 girls who referred to the clinics of Al-Zahra, Amin, and Shahid Beheshti hospitals in Isfahan city in 2023. The girls who met the study entry criteria were selected by the available sampling method. Then they were divided into two control groups (use of Menstrugol capsules: 500 mg every 12 hours) and the intervention (hypnosis: three 20-min sessions individually, once a week). The PBLAC chart was completed by all participants to determine the volume of bleeding before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and 2 months after the intervention. The collected data were analyzed by spss software version 20.
resultsThe results of this study showed that the average volume of bleeding in the control group is 32% higher compared to the intervention group, which is statistically significant (
conclusionThe results of data analysis showed that hypnosis significantly reduces the volume of bleeding according to the number of pads used. Based on the results, it is recommended to use hypnotherapy as a method to reduce the volume of menstrual bleeding. Considering the importance of bleeding due to iron deficiency in girls of childbearing age and the desire of most people to use non-pharmacological methods, as well as safe and cheap, hypnosis can reduce the side effects caused by drugs.
